AirTag Tracking from “Home”

Is there a way to designate a specific Apple device as being “home” and have the AirTag located relative to it using other Apple devices?

AirTag - Apple

AirTags gets its location from nearby devices (including Apple devices from others).

Your AirTag sends out a secure Bluetooth signal that can be detected by nearby devices in the Find My network. These devices send the location of your AirTag to iCloud — then you can go to the Find My app and see it on a map.

The location is retrievable through the matching Apple ID account – not from a specific device per se.

‘Precision Finding’ allows a modern iPhone (not iPad) to locate nearby AirTags with an arrow and distance.
